The The Wall Street Journal shares the news that EX90s from Volvo are being delivered in the EU and US this year with battery passports, powered by Circulor, which show the provenance and material journey information of lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite.  Andy Leyland, co-founder SC Insights | Intelligent Logistics, rightly comments that “transparency is crucial for supply chains associated with the energy transition, with both consumers and governments wanting to know that materials and components are sourced responsibly.” With market requirements now taking effect in the US and in Europe in 2027, the time for pilots and experiments has passed. All automakers need similar transparency and should start today… #BatteryPassport #Sustainability #EVs #Traceability 

Our Innovation Summit has come to an end, and it was another successful year! We’re all walking away more inspired, with new connections, and another reminder of why giving back matters. “The summit has been a great experience to meet with like-minded people and understand different perspectives. Also having the opportunity to give back to nature is an important aspect in the sustainability industry. Planting a tree, in a spot that was tragically damaged by a fire, is an experience and reminder of why we are all working hard to make the world better. I’m honored to be a part of this movement.” -Tiffany Duane, U.S. Sustainability Manager & Sales Manager, HANKOOK
